/vr/ - Retro Games

I just view the game on a 55” OLED the way the devs intended.

Regardless of the device you play it on the right is inaccurate.
The game on the Arcades was greyish. It only looks that blue on miscalibrated aged tubes.

Looks like a midway point between the two to me. Still looks better than the raw pixels.

Pretty sure all arcade cabinets are different in how they look compared to that

What people don't get is that image looked different from CRT to CRT, not even counting different connections

nice 'arcade' game running on some kid's bedroom tv

Arcade games were output via RGB. The quality of the monitor varied based on model, though they weren't going to be of the same quality/sharpness as a professional video monitor. And beyond that, it also depends on how well the operator had calibrated the color and brightness.

My main arcade cab is an Astro Ciry with a stock Nanao monitor. It is rather sharp and very clear, but doesn't have overwhelmingly defined scanlines or super sharp pixels, so it looks great when playing with your face right near the screen.

Those damn zoomers and their CRT shaders! How do we stop them?

What did OP mean by this?

God I can't fucking stand CRTfags and their "my personal preference is objectively superior and that's a fact" attitude. Always spouting the same two/three examples from the same two/three games and never talking about the thousands of counter examples, like the thousands of games designed with square pixels in mind when their CRT stretch that shit. But see, it's fact that my personal preference is objectively superior because of this one example.

Surprise surprise, gamma correction is neglected by Dunning-Kruger would-be experts.

But I can't blame them when even professional editing software fails at this basic concept.

Gamest #19 has this shot on the cover.

I agree that it's way too blue, looks like a CRT calibrated for a 93k white point, but it drifted into being even more blue over time. The fact that people claim CRTs as being the "intended look" when 99% of them are 20+ years old and uncalibrated, is laughable. 90% of the CRT folks here don't even know how to use SMPTE bars.

He looks like he really doesn't want to be participating in that example. They should have let him go home instead of flashing lights on his face.

Not to mention there's this really annoying issue with consumer CRT televisions (at least Sony ones) where they all seem to overdrive the red values so that reds always seem to bloom out as this super-bright almost neon red, in comparison to an actual proper red color you get on a PVM, for example. And even trying to correct this in the TV's service menu can be a huge pain in the ass. For example my mid-90s 32" trinitron has the ability to adjust green and blue drive/cutoff, BUT NOT RED. At most all you can do is crank up green and blue to try to match the red's overdrive and then turn down the color settings globally to compensate (it doesn't)

I heard that TV manufacturers did this back in the day to get better looking skin tones or some shit. Fucking retarded.

People refusing to believe this is why 99% of CRT arguments exist. CRTs vary enormously.

Konami Contra based hardware from that era looked desaturated for whatever reason. Then TMNT2 hardware review rolled along and had proper saturation. Only God knows why, really.

oh yeah, all of those 8:7 screens that people used

Is this another gold/blue dress meme?

>my personal preference is objectively superior and that's a fact"
you're genuinely stupid, anon.
it has nothing to do with personal preference and has everything to do with the fact that you're viewing the game through the medium it was -CREATED- on.
You are seeing what the artists saw, or very close to it.

Fucking this.

What is this place?
